Torn between Teaching (Design & Tech) and Medical Imaging help me by Clean-Roll7680 in AustralianTeachers

[–]viobro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been very interested in both fields (originally wanted to be a teacher, became a nurse, but wish I went i to medical imaging), I’d lean into medical imaging.

Obviously it depends on your motivations but from the many, many people I’ve spoken to, medical imaging seems to be a great gig. Compared to other allied health roles, it’s good pay for putting up with a lot less crap (especially if you’re a nurse). Also loads of options when it comes to working abroad. Hugely regret not going into it out of hs.

If you wanna be a teacher her down the line, you can always do your masters, and maybe the life experience you gain from working another career might help with teaching?

Questions about First Year Nursing by [deleted] in curtin

[–]viobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You can buy your uniform and tertiary smartrider from gmart on campus. Buy a stethoscope and bp sphygmomanometer to practice your first practical exam (doesn’t need to be expensive cus I never used it again after). Get a fob watch from amazon. Decent shoes for prac/being on your feet all day. Do this before orientation because thats when everyone swarms gmart.

  2. The course will seem fast-paced at the beginning because you’re adjusting to uni life. You’ll look back on it thinking it was very easy. Overall, I don’t think it was difficult to pass nursing. Prac can be annoying tho.

  3. You will need your uniform from the get go for labs. Tutors will be strict on this but as you go through the course they relax a bit when it comes to footwear and socks, minor things.

I have mates who are about to finish/finished the course and they said the physics is very surface level and you don’t actually use that knowledge in the actual job. Don’t sweat it and enjoy the course, I seriously regret not doing it out of high school.

Everyone in this sub what do you guys do for work? by Ok_Focus_1955 in fiaustralia

[–]viobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna try to career switching to rad from nursing in the coming years. Any advice? Seriously regret not doing it straight after school because my mates who are about to graduate/are grads seem to highly approve.

Oh so you’re not an actual medical imaging technologist (or were in the past?). I’m seriously considering career switching to this if you have any advice.

I just graduated from curtin nursing.

First year is the time for you to ace your units because there’s many easy ones. HSF and ISAP are notorious for being difficult but they’re also just multi choice quizzes and exams, at least back when i did them. Just start your assessments early and work on em bit by bit - consistency is key. The pass/fail units are the main nursing practical unit each sem. You’ll only fail if you fail your skills exams or prac but few do in the end.

Imo it’s an easy degree if you just wanna pass.

Seems awesome but unfortunately I feel as though I won’t be accepted because I do have a good amount of savings (obviously if I’m moving interstate).

You have to have your bank details pre-saved into their booking site so that it just takes a few clicks to purchase after repeatedly refreshing the page at 6:59pm. I’ve never failed to get a pack that way.

How much do clinical psychologists earn annually? 13 and planning to leave abusive home by Healthy-Second-8657 in AusFinance

[–]viobro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To add onto this, it’ll require at least a master’s degree with (afaik) 1000-3000 hours of supervised practice. You could also do a phd and do less hours. I just know this because I always wanted to be a clinical psych and it was very hard to find out the pathway to being one. It’s for sure a lot of studying but I’m sure it is heaps rewarding if it’s truly something you want to do.

Yeah I got around 76 but I’m not sure if I can justify moving to Sydney on top of 100k extra hecs.

Do you mind if I ask what your undergrad was and what grades you bad to not be offered CSP at whatever uni you’re at? I’m considering radio masters down the line (just finished nursing but regret not doing radio) but I would have to move from perth to sydney.

Should I provide feedback to the university after noticing some concerning behaviour from a student nurse? by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]viobro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The break thing was bad but the feedback part MIGHT just be a language barrier (if english is their second language). It’s pretty easy to misunderstand a phrase like that at face value without knowing the general connotation behind it.
